Need Web browser for older computer using OS 10.13.6

I have a 2009 iMac that is still in great working order but it is stuck at the 10.13.6 update permanently and I need it for work. However, I am now unable to use any versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox, or Brave to browse the websites I use for work. HELP what can I do?

iMac, macOS 10.13

you should try Firefox Dynasty (GitHub project) - constantly being updated and the latest version is based on Firefox 134. It can be got here (bottom right of page, Releases):

or you can get it with this Preference Pane which can always be used to get the latest version:

Firefox 115 ESR

Chromium 116 (also Chrome 116, Opera 102, or Brave 1.57)


Maybe Pale Moon if your work doesn't require a mainstream browser.


If none of the above work for your job specific needs then you will need a newer computer, (and generally a computer you use for a job should probably should be new enough to receive security updates anyway).

You may also need to update your ISRG X1 certificate: https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/, by downloading the X1 .pem file, manually adding it to your system keychain and customizing the trust settings once it is installed (most forum answers in various places will say to blanket "trust always", but you really only need to do it for SSL in order to access websites).
